World Book Night Reveals Titles for 2013

World Book Night announced the titles of the books available to give away this year. Each giver receives a box of twenty books to distribute on World Book Night which is April 23, 2013. The guidelines and application is here, but don’t worry; you have from now through January, 2013, to apply.

I hope that you’ll participate with me, and other givers, as there’s nothing quite so wonderful as sharing the love of literature. Especially with people who don’t have easy access to a book of their own.

The House on Mango Street is one of my all-time favourites ever! I wish there was a World Book Night here in Canada. Have you read City of Thieves? How did you like it? I've had it on my shelves for a few years and still haven't had the urge to pick it up. I haven't seen it on blogs.

I'm afraid many readers of the type of book you (and I) prefer to read will overlook one book in the list: LOOK AGAIN by Lisa Scottoline. She's an author I never bothered with and never wanted to. But I won LOOK AGAIN so read it. It's an excellent book. If you haven't read it, give it a try.

I can definitely see myself giving away The House on Mango Street to my daughter's school. Too bad Hate that Dog isn't on the list. I haven't read many of the books picked this year so I plan on reading a few of them before the application deadline and see if I should join you in the fun.
